So I am having this wierd thing, when out mining Ice asteroids. A blue field starts in the center of the radar screen and spreads to the edges, when it happens it seems to kill any limpit in the blue zone. can someone pls tell me what is happening here? i haven't played in a yr, is something new related to the mining rebalance, I've never had this issue before?
Limpits dying CONSTANTLY when blue field shows up on radar screen.

The only thing I recall doing such expanding blue field on the radar is the "Shutdown Field Neutralizer" to be used against Thargoid shutdown EMP.
Check your utility slots to make sure you don't have it installed in your ship... please, it would be nice to have a feedback from you afterwards because I never knew it would kill limpets as well.

I don't think i have one on this ship but will check and get back to you.thanks for the reply as well.
So it appears that the keybind I was using for UI Select must have been double bound to something else as well. I changed the selection keybind to F7 and that cleared up the problem. My hotas has a 2 stage trigger, I use the first for UI selection, and then the second stage for fire group 1 activation. Each time I activated the fire group, the first stage bind, which was set to the INSERT key, btw, was activating the blue field, and THEN firing the mining laser when it hit the second stage. I will check on the Neutralizer a little later or tomorrow, how do I tell if I have a field neutralizer installed on this ship?

ECM, Shirley?
Good to know ECM can disable limpets, should help against pirate hatchbreakers. Finally it has some use, otherwise Point Defence seem better, being hands-off.
Never used or even equiped an ECM... and as far I'm aware of it just make missiles "drunk" for a few seconds... it would be interesting to test it against limpets but it would still be the most useless module to date.
Turns out it WAS double bound to the ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) thanks to everyone who responded, and I wanted to be sure to let you know what the result was after your speedy reply the day i asked.

Works on limpets, confirmed.
